Martin International
was founded in 1982 by Captain Walter Martin, and is committed to providing the highest quality
training for mariners seeking United States Coast Guard licenses
and documents. Our
expertise as a training organization enables us to work closely
with the offshore industry in the development of training courses in
compliance with federal regulations. Our experienced staff takes
pride in ensuring that the mariner receives the appropriate Maritime
License for his/ her offshore career. We offer courteous and professional
service to all.

Martin International endeavors to
maintain the highest standards of excellence in our training courses
and services.

Martin International intends to continue
to grow and assist the offshore industry on any training or educational
needs. We also intend to continually improve the
levels of our service, instruction, and training courses, as well
as offer any courses that are vital to offshore personnel.

MARTIN
INTERNATIONALS TRAINING CENTER

In January 1998, Martin International completed construction on its
new training facility in Laplace, Louisiana. This new site was
selected because:

It’s located
at the intersection of I-10 and I-55 Interstate highways.

It’s
located
immediately adjacent to both the Quality Inn and the Days Inn,
which provide accommodations for the majority of our students.
We have negotiated very reasonable rates for our students.

New Orleans International Airport via Interstate 10, is a
short 20 minutes away.

It’s conveniently
located
near several service stations and truck stops.

It’s
located
near several restaurants, including full-service and fast-food.

Our building was designed from ground up as a multi-purpose maritime
training facility. In addition to ample reception/office/work
spaces, we have five classrooms for 20+ students each, two of which
can be opened-up to make a much larger meeting space. In 2005, we
purchased an adjacent 4,000 square foot building for future
classroom expansion.
